Good question - one I'd like to find out the answer to myself. Been thinking about getting a Yamaha BB for a while and there seems clearly to be a lot of love for them on this thread!

Just recently joined BC and have been perusing some amazing set ups you guys have! Particularly appreciated you taking the time to set out your signal chain @Al Krow - really helps make sense of the board and why it's been set up as it has. See that you're a bit of a fan of drive and fuzz pedals, that's quite a hoard! 😀

Ah fair enough - no harm no foul. I didn't know you well enough to realise you were just having a larf. Interested in your second point about the QBB "at 40W setting" being very loud. But exactly how do you know it's delivering 40W at a particular setting? Are you measuring the output? A lot of amps are non linear in their response and get to a loud volume pretty quickly and then further increases of the vol knob have relatively limited effect. My guess is that QBB would be displaying a similar characteristic? I appreciate this all combines with the need to roughly double wattage to get a 3dB increase in volume and the quality and efficiency of cabs etc.

Ah yes, thanks for clarifying - I had misunderstood your comment and that's a very good point. I hadn't spotted that there was a matching size PSU and that does unfortunately make this a lot less compact as you say.

A product can make all the claims about itself that it likes. You, or your other half, ever bought a beauty or hair loss product? 😄

Not being ironic at all. Just observing that asking a question about how something can be used is hardly ripping something apart, is it? With @Dan Dare on that! And for me @ped has hit the nail on the head with his comment about this having a tiny PSU. My experience is a watt is a watt, and this is delivering just 45 of them at 4 ohms. Btw - FWIW I thought you made some very good points in the rest of your earlier post, after you had had a dig at your fellow BC'ers for engaging their brains! 😉

As someone new to BC, must admit I find it very refreshing when folk actually engage brains and ask sensible questions about new gear, and don't simply jump on the "wow look there's something new and shiny, let's all rush out and get it!" bandwagon. Asking a question of how it's going to find practical use is hardly ripping a product apart, is it? Not all new product launches are a great success. Dunno if you're old enough to remember this one? As a couple of other posts have rightly pointed out this won't work as a stage monitor power unit if you're playing with a drummer, it has far too low power output and I'm guessing that anyone who has a BF One10 is likely to already have got themselves a decent amp to pair it with, but I could be wrong, otherwise a BF One10 is a big extra expense to be getting to make this a usable bit of kit. Just get a practice amp or a headphone amp with aux in.
